Orlando Summer League Announcers Are Awesome
The Dante & Galante Show Needs To Go Big Time
by CriticalFanatic
7/8/08



In my post last night on the Orlando Summer League, I forgot to note two very important details: 1) you can watch these games online and why would you waste your time doing such a thing? 2) the "announcers" are hysterical.

Thanks to Awful Announcing for grabbing some extended video. These guys, apparently named Dante and Galante who host an OrlandoMagic.com podcast, call the action like they see it. The Dante & Galante Show needs a regular NBA play-by-play job.

Among their gems (from The Postmen):
– Repeated references to how horrible Aaron Gray is. For example: “Aaron Gray makes a slow, awkward move. Not surprisingly, it’s rejected.”
– Being willing to admit that “Tyrus Thomas has been known to eat souls.”
– A dumbest email of the day feature. (For the record, the email asked if Dwyane Wade would get a lot of playing time next year. That is really dumb.)
– “Everything Joakim Noah does looks very awkward to me.”
– A debate on the merits of Kobe’s sneakers.
– “Jamesoff Curry.”
That's how every game should be called. Tell me you wouldn't prefer this to anything ESPN or TNT has to offer.
